Debtor’s prisons
Oh this one’s coming, no doubt. Perhaps not in the same mode - it won’t be a home to starve in. More like debt prison slavery
Moats. I was kidding at first, but I’m now thinking lazy rivers are modern moats.
Moats were cool until I learned that toileting holes were often positioned such that the urine and feces wash down into the moat. I’m gonna have to take a pass on that lazy river…
Medieval?
Kings, plagues, private armies (more late medieval and renaissance, but you get the idea), career military with hi-tech weapons tearing apart barely armed peasants. Idk, OP, seems like we got almost everything covered
Cloaks and leather boots

I like it. Stay original for those that want it but add the modern for that that want that.
Syphilis
Trump already brought that one back.
Weird ass slices in public parks everybody has to garden in. https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Open-field_system
( ͡° ͜ʖ ͡°) How many ass slices per person?
Just take 1, they’re pre-sliced for your convenience.
Yes

The stockade is something we desperately need. Some people need to learn how other people see them. Driving 50mph in a living area, stockade. Making a lot of noise at 6 in the morning, believe it or not, stockade. Being a racist cunt, straight to the stockade.
I genuinely, honestly, 100% believe you should be able to option for physical punishment when being reprimanded for minor things. Pepper spray to the face, electric shock, mild caning, etc. Anything that would have little to no harm, even in the short term, but hurts like a bitch. I don’t think you should be able to sentence someone to pain, but that the person being sentenced should be able to choose pain instead.
This was one of the really interesting plot elements in World War Z, where towards the end of the war where they couldn’t really afford to be wasting resources on prisons, they brought back corporal and public punishment. They’d put people in stockades to let the entire community know they were caught doing something like stealing their neighbor’s firewood, or publicly lashing executives who were war-profiteering, and only imprisoning the absolute worst offenders who were incapable of integrating back into society.
For a silly zombie novel, it honestly has a phenomenal amount of prettt interesting social commentary, and is absolutely worth a listen to the unabridged audiobook.
… And masochists? Please be specific.
Comfy bed.
Let’s bring back paddlin’ while we’re at it
That’s a paddlin’.
A vast patchwork of incredibly different lifeways that you can flee to whenever then taxman and his goons come round.

Horses as transportation.
Scaphism, but specifically for corrupt politicians.
I wouldn’t mind bringing back public executions.
I’m more for throwing tomatoes at ppl stuck with their arms and head in one of those thingies
Beheading kings.
Catapults, just to irritate the trebuchet people.
As I understand it, the trebuchet is technically a catapult, I think you are trying to undermine it by referring to the lowly mangonel which is certainly inferior.
If my Age of Empires knowledge serves, you can just crank out a pantload of mangonels and start blasting before the trebuchets have time to set up and reduce your town to rubble
Did you just insult the superior siege weapon?
Guillotines obviously.
guillotines are renaissance era.
Coinciding (by happenstance no doubt) with the fall of monarchies.
Giant shirtless executioners then, I guess.
I’ll take the entrails of a priest.
See, that kind of back talk puts you first in line for the period-inaccurate execution.
Does it matter if they are meant specifically for the ruling class?
